Kyle Rapps – Watch Out

hurryupnbuy — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 23:45:37 +0000

Harlem emcee Kyle Rapps is bringing low budget multimedia visuals to a new level of griminess and fun factor. The quirky green screen-meets-photoshop platform portrayed in his videos is both artistic and hilarious, and is a welcomed departure from the fashionista and weedporn swag that the new New York scene is becoming known for. As a result, Rapps has garnered the attention and cosign of some higher profile artists such as Action Bronson, Mr Muthafuckin’ eXquire, and Murs, who are all featured on his mixtape “SUB” which drops this May. Show promoters are also taking note as last month Kyle was tapped by Live Nation to play a Vice Records showcase at Santos Party house with Bodega Bamz, and A$AP Twelvyy.

“Hangin’ Out” with Kosha Dillz and Friends…

ramievenesh — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 23:40:35 +0000

Journeyman veteran entertainer/rapper Kosha Dillz just dropped the hot and catchy lead single “Hangin’ Out,” along with a wild music video for the same, directed by Ricky Shabazz. From mobbing out in Koreatown to Froyo, Hollywood Blvd. and Jewish delis, the self proclaimed Dillzionaire parades through Los Angeles all while hanging out with a mob of fans, friends and cameos that include Verbs, Boom n Crates, Laker Girls and more. The ode to kicking it comes from his forthcoming untitled record (or possibly series of EPs) that also features tracks with Gangsta Boo, Murs, Big Pooh, Wax and more. The .mp3 is also available for free download, so go hit the jump, peep the video and snag that .mp3!

On top of catching Kosha hanging out at Ralph’s, Froyo, Mel’s Diner or various other dining establishments in Los Angeles, where the relocated Jersey native now lives, he will be appearing as an official artist at SXSW 2013 and at The Central SAPC with DJ Abilities on March 3, 2013.

Top 12 Acts Of 2012 :: URB Readers Poll Winners

URB.com — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 21:22:11 +0000

The votes have been tallied and once again URB readers have made their voices heard. And how did 2012 flesh out in terms of your favorite artists? A rock solid mix of all-time favorites, current buzz-makers and a few veteran acts climbing their way to the top once again. Don’t call it a comeback — although it seems hip-hop dominated your world in 2012, while the rest of America was jocking EDM as the next big thing. Are MCs the new DJs, who are the new pop stars, already?

12. DOOMTREE

This seven-person collective from the Twin Cities has been on our radar for almost a decade, although it seemed like they’d forever be in the shadow of MPLS patriarchy Rhymesayers. Not that there’s anything but healthy competition between the two camps. And now, riding on win after win as a team, plus all-star performances from individual players Lazerbeak and Dessa, Doomtree has cracked our year end list for the first time. Looks like Minnesota is still the hip-hop capital of the Midwest.

On The Clock with FLuD – Murs & Fashawn

hurryupnbuy — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 17:19:49 +0000

When “Murs for President” came out, it was a time when the United States was in the middle of a tense political and social climate. We were on the cusp of a new electron, a deep financial crisis, and social media revealed itself as a leading form of mass communication. In an era when we felt bombarded by popular culture, Murs humorously and profoundly commented on the state of things, in turn contributing to a voice of the current generation. A couple of years have passed since “Murs for President,” and many things have changed for us. The feeling of being overwhelmed has turned into a subtle blase towards all things, a certain nonchalance for the otherwise shocking.

Cue “This Generation,” the new collaboration album between Murs and XXL Freshman Class alumni Fashawn. The album, which features beats by production duo Beatnik & K-Salaam, was created with the intention to identify with its namesake. FLuD Way TV got the opportunity to speak with the two artists for a light-hearted interview about their creative influence. After the short interview, the artists gave us an a cappella sneak peek of what to expect on their album, which was released last week. Check out “This Generation” on iTunes and in record stores nationwide, released via Duck Down Music.

the Kleenrz (Self Jupiter & Kenny Segal) – Mr. Sandman

hurryupnbuy — Fri, 10 Aug 2012 14:58:52 +0000

Self Jupiter (Freestyle Fellowship) and Kenny Segal are…the Kleenrz! “Mr. Sandman” takes a look inside a world of make-believe. A world built on white lies told to help us sleep at night…to keep fear from destroying our children’s innocence. They’ll have to grow up one day, that day will be today if Mr. Sandman has a say in it.
